So, you have 9.0 compression. I noticed that on Turbo-kits.com that they offer a built bottom end with CR ranging from 8.6, 9.2, 10.5 and 11.5. Being that I only want 600whp, would you recommend the 9.2 CR over the 8.6 CR so that it will make more power at a lower PSI level due to slightly higher compression?

Ive got 8.5 CP pistons and am making very good power with such a low CR. I think such a small jump in CR is negotiable in power gains. Never hurts to do 9.0 tho.

If you are on race gas, the higher comp.ratio setup will make more power...more than likely.
